United States v. Travis Grote

Opinion

United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 21-2436 ___________________________ United States of America, lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee, v. Travis Lee Grote, lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant. ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Western ____________ Submitted: January 31, 2022 Filed: February 7, 2022 [Unpublished] ____________ Before COLLOTON, BENTON, and STRAS, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM.

Travis Grote appeals a sentence imposed by the district court1 after he pleaded guilty to firearm offenses. His counsel has moved to withdraw, and has filed a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), challenging the reasonableness of Grote’s sentence. We conclude that the sentence was not substantively unreasonable, as there is no indication that the court overlooked a relevant factor, gave significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or committed a clear error of judgment in weighing the relevant factors. See United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461-62 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc).

We have also independently reviewed the record under Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988), and have found no non-frivolous issues for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment, and we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________

The Honorable Leonard T. Strand, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. -2-
